The main hexagram for this week is 58: Joy and with the fifth line changing the transformation hexagram is 54: Careful Affection

The main energy associated with the hexagram 58 is Joy. The image that comes to mind is of bunch of kids playing together and enjoying themselves. They exhibit joy and happiness without any sense of worry or negativity. Kids seem to have that innate ability by which they are able to freely express without any doubtful feelings or calculated responses. We could say, that kids can be that way, since they don’t have jobs to do and companies to manage!

But there is much we can learn from them- this sense of unsullied joy allows kids to always be in a state of happy presence. As we all know, when we are happy, we exhibit our best side to the world and seem to get even tough things done very effortlessly and effectively. This is the power that this hexagram reminds us.

The changing line warns us that we need to be careful to not let any negative emotions rile us up. If you feel any start of anger, hurt or other negative emotion, then make sure you consciously let go of them otherwise they will ruffle up your feeling of peace and joy similar to how thunder ruffles up the surface of the lake (image for Hexagram 54: Careful Affection).

​Meditation image for this week:

The meditation image for this week is of Playing Children. These children are playing and simply expressing their joy and feeling the goodness of being in a team, in a group with their friends. Though they are within a group and are part of the dynamics, they are also maintaining their own sense of conscious self- doing what is good for them and also for others. ​Meditate this week on being in your own element while also being part of a greater whole. How you can be happy while also accommodating others and ensuring their happiness. Basically how can you be a good member on this planet earth and also a great team player?

The main hexagram for this week is 57: Gentle Penetration and with the fourth, fifth and sixth line changing the transformation hexagram is 32: Duration.

Have you ever lit an incense in a room? Initially it seems like you can only smell it where you have lit it but slowly it seems like the fragrance permeates through the entire room and makes your whole home smell wonderful. It is the same when you consider the energies of the hexagram 57: Gentle Penetration. This hexagram is made from the two trigrams which are wind over wind.

When you first think of wind, it may come across as a very weak force. We typically don’t think of wind as being able to cause much change- but think again! When wind is directed in a particular direction, it can become very powerful. The image that immediately comes to mind is of the tall oak which breaks during strong winds whereas the soft and pliant grass, that was able to bend with the currents; continued to stand ground.

These are the lessons this hexagram provides and the energies for this week ask us to work carefully and diligently on our chalked out plans. Follow the plan and continue making small progress in that same direction. If you come across any obstacle then try to bend around it rather than face it head-on which will needlessly create resistance in your progress and flow!

The transformation hexagram further reinforces this notion- let the world shape itself as it will around you. But once you are sure of your chosen path as well as the tasks you have laid out to accomplish your goals and vision, then you simply continue on your path. Even if your progress is slow, over time it will accumulate and compound to amazing proportions.

​Meditation image for this week:

The key image for this week’s meditation is a strong breeze blowing thru an open field. This breeze helps with spreading seeds and strengthening the plants to yield better grains. Also, the plants bend with the currents and so stand tall and stay their ground. The key wisdom from nature is: when we are flexible, we gain the strength of the wind to accomplish great things.​

The main hexagram for this week is 18: Repairing what has been spoiled and with the fourth and sixth line changing the transformation hexagram is 32: Duration.

The key theme for this week is to focus on repairing what has been spoiled or started to decay because of neglect. Very often people get so caught up in their own world that they fail to realize when they have allowed indulgence, bad behavior and other such detrimental traits to take up all their time and consideration and in the process have neglected other key areas of their life. Like all life-situations, many a times, when we take a breather and really look about ourselves, we then realize how much we have allowed for some crucial things to get out of hand!

What are those situations in your life? Have you been working super crazy hours because you were striving for that promotion or that new car or that exotic vacation and while you have been so busy pursuing that goal, you have somewhere gone far away from the very family with whom you hope to enjoy your victory? Have you neglected your health and even though you promised to lead a healthy 2017, you have been too busy meeting targets and deadlines to eat healthy and workout?​This week’s energy allows you to take that breather break. Take a conscious pause and see how things are around you and take the time to repair anything that started decaying with neglect. Though this typically means relationships and other life-situations, it can also indicate plain and simple clean-up. Though it’s the start of the week, but still- if you have not cleaned out your refrigerator or your desk, today will be a good day to ensure that these key personal spaces are kept in prime order to help you actively and consciously move in the direction of your dreams and ambition.​

Meditation image for this week:

The key image for this week’s meditation is an open growth area with a source of life giving water, a pond. It has been neglected and seems quite run-down, but with proper care and nurturing it holds great possibility of becoming a lush farm. Take the time to tend, to nurture and repair what has been neglected- so you can have a truly all-round growth and prosperity.​

The main hexagram for this week is 59 Dispersing and with the first line changing the transformation hexagram is 61 Centering in Truth

This coming week, we will have the vernal equinox and aptly we find that our iChing indicates dispersing- the typical image for this hexagram is that of winter ice melting away at the start of spring. As spring approaches we find not just a change in weather, but also our attitude. Typically the cold, bleak winter tends to make us feel less optimistic about our future, but many a times with spring arriving and along with it the day-light hours increase. And with all these changes we somehow seem to feel much brighter about our prospects.

So, the key theme for this week will be to allow any “set and un-yielding” attitude from the past to melt away in the increasing light. Bring such blocking attitudes to the forefront- allow any harshness and set patterns to melt away by evaluating of those situations and consciously making an attempt to understand and accept those lessons. Spring cleaning not just of closets but also of our life is very much in order!

Doing this will allow us to center ourselves in truth- this is not “truth” of our faith or beliefs, but the very truth of our existence- i.e. the essence of our very selves! From such a place of profound presence emanates powerful energies that allow us to not only make required changes in our lives but also better prepare us to carry out the necessary actions to further our life goals, ambitions and desires.

Meditation image for this week:

The key image for this week’s meditation is of melting ice on tree branches with small flower buds starting to bloom- symbolically representing the beautiful and amazing possibilities that await us if we let go of our “set and stuck” patterns…

"Tread Carefully" as you progress thru this week.

The main hexagram is 10- Treading and with 1, 3, 5 and 6th line changing, the transformation Hexagram is 32- Duration

For many of us the eclipse energy from past two weeks is still not completely settled! And to top it up- we do have a powerful full moon tomorrow! So, it is but expected to see so many changing lines in the main hexagram.

The key message is to continue observing things shaping up around us and to tread carefully. Many folks, particularly those who are not as tuned to energies, feel the strong energies, but are unable to process it clearly and seem to "act out" or "act up". Particularly in such scenarios it is best to be even more accomodative and try to understand the other person and where they are coming from! The theme into March still seems to continue from February- i.e. be patient and carefully observe. Carefully evaluate actions and their possible consequences.

Transformation Image for March 12, 2017 thru March 18, 2017

Calmly and patiently allow the world around you to shape itself.

With many changing lines it is clearly indicative of many changes are on the way. When one gets caught in the strong currents of change, it can get very dis-orienting and over-whelming. Where as being aware of these changing drifts, one can be better prepared to calmly and patiently allow the world around you to shape itself. Definitely take necessary actions (as mentioned above tread Carefully) but at the same time, do not loose focus or feel caught in the current!

This week seems to call for a calm, cool and well-thought out approach to things...

To be pleasantly at joy and peace to be moved by the scenery but also careful not to be swept away.

The main hexagram is 31- Influence and with the third line changing the transformation Hexagram is 45- Gathering

As we are approaching the annular solar eclipse at this end of this week, many of us are not only feeling the influence of it's energy but also of the next solar eclipse in August 2017. Eclipses can be powerful times of transformation and we typically feel it's influence and wooing as the day comes near and for six months thereafter!

The main energy for this week to contemplate inwards, where we can pleasantly observe and even enjoy all that is happening around us, without being swayed or swept away by it's influence. If the happenings are good, then great- enjoy them and if they are not too pleasant then also do what is needed but avoid allowing it to influence you into sadness or low feelings!

Transformation Image for Feb 19, 2017 thru Feb 24, 2017

Being at a gathering or in crowds can bring lot of joy, but one needs to be careful to get not swept away by the crowd-psychology.

As you interact with others be cognizant of their influence over you. Being in groups can bring great joy but there is always the possibility of being adversely influenced by the mob-psychology. So when in crowds it is important to be aware of one's own self and ensure that's one interests are not crushed by the group and that one does not get too swayed by the crowd workings.

Be Still as the Mountain

The main hexagram is 52- Keeping Still and with the fourth line changing the transformation Hexagram is 56 Wanderer.

​After the prenumbral lunar eclipse from this weekend and as we are traversing towards the upcoming solar eclipse, it is but natural to expect the energies for this week to be a bit unsettled. So it is best to internally stay still as the mountain. The key message is that we concentrate on doing what needs to be done- without getting ruffled up by our surroundings! It is best to be centered within and work with calm conviction. Meditation or some kind of prayer ritual that helps one to focus within surely helps during such times.

As things get in flux with the eclipse changing energies, it is best for us to calmly maneuver thru tough times and situations with inner conviction and fortitude.

​When we travel, we have a more accepting approach to our surroundings- people and situations. We are more willing to mold ourselves to a situation and in case if any disagreements were to happen, we tend to quickly dissipate them and move on with our journey. This transformation hexagram indicates that it is best for us to cultivate such an attitude of a Traveler for this coming week.
